"The 2023 Pinot Noir Marin County showcases the lesser known area south of Sonoma County that tends to encompass extreme coastal sites. In this wine, the acidity is dazzlingly on point, fresh and long-lasting, a worthy accent to the light-bodied savory fruit, forest, and nutmeg at its core, with a finishing touch of lavender that's so pretty you'll want more. Drink now through 2035." - Virginie Boone, jebdunnuck.com, February 2026

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Sevens Bench Vineyard from Carneros is a jeweled ruby color and takes on notes of dark wild black raspberries, mossy earth, and fresh violets as well as savory but fresh hints of porcini. Medium-bodied, it has more richness, with ripe tannins and a savory, snappy, iron-rich feel that closes it out and accents the finish. It has a deeper feel but remains refreshing and is going to drink well over the coming 15 years. " - Audrey Frick, jebdunnuck.com, July 2025

"This is still a very young bottling, but it’s already opulent and wonderfully hedonistic.

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Muldune Trail comes from vines planted in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

The full-bodied palate features open-knit, botanical-laced flavors. It’s framed by soft, silky tannins and juicy acidity and has a long, layered finish." - Erin Brooks, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, Oct 2025

Another Oregon wine from the Eola-Amity Hills in the Willamette Valley, the 2023 Pinot Noir Warrior Princess is a bright ruby hue with a light watery rim.

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Fog Dance is also coming from the Green Valley of the Russian River and pours a more jeweled ruby hue. The nose is more layered and enveloping, with notes of wild raspberries, cherries, fresh sage, violet perfume, and orange citrus, while the palate has more tension and well-defined structure, with ripe tannins, zesty, ripe acidity, and long persistence on the finish. It’s built for the long haul but has a lot to offer now. Drink 2026-2050" - Audrey Frick, jebdunnuck.com, July 2025

"A darker ruby color, the 2023 Pinot Noir Maclean's Block reveals a deeper aromatic profile, with notes of cherry cordial, mossy earth, pressed flowers, sage, and dark stones. The palate is light on its feet but has a more expansive and velvety, even texture, and while it’s more savory and deep, it has a lovely floating feel. It’s long on the palate and is going to be worth checking in on over the next 15 or so years."- Audrey Frick, jebdunnuck.com, July 2025

"The 2023 Seascape Vineyard Pinot Noir is pale to medium ruby-purple colored. Notes of forest floor, garrigue, and warm cranberries pop from the glass, plus hints of mossy tree bark and rose bud tea.

"Matured for 15 months in 25% new French oak, the 2023 Pinot Noir Velvet Sisters is intensely perfumed! Intoxicating raspberry and red cherry preserve, rose petal, pennyroyal and grilled orange aromas pour from the glass. The full-bodied palate features highly concentrated, complex flavors framed by velvety tannins and refreshing acidity, and it has a long, expressive finish. It changes dynamically as it airs in the glass and should be long lived in the cellar." - Erin Brooks, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, Oct 2025

Coming from the Green Valley of the Russian River, the 2023 Pinot Noir Hailey's Block is a transparent ruby red color and is pretty and floral on the nose with notes of wild strawberries, tarragon, fresh roses, and sweet herbal perfume.

It’s very charming now but should also age well over the coming 12-15 years. - Audrey Frick, jebdunnuck.com, July 2025
